The E-350 has a long history as one of Ford’s most successful vehicles. Popular among Ford trucks as a box truck base, it has many other uses. Up until 2014, it was available as a passenger carrier or cargo van. It is now sold as a cutaway or stripped chassis vehicle, though you may find the odd Ford dealer selling one with a second-party rear body. Below, we delve into some of the main 2024 Ford E-350 features.
- Powerful, Hardworking, and Refined
The 2024 Ford Econoline 350, also known as the E-350, comes with a 7.3L V8 Premium-Rated engine, both on SRW and DRW models. This makes it the workhorse it is, thanks to 450 lb-ft of torque at 3800 rpm, which delivers 325 HP. The 11,500-12,500 lb GVWR range of DRW vehicles makes them a bit heavier duty than SRW models, which have a GVWR of 10,050 pounds. The DRW has dual rear wheels that enhance its towing stability.
To help with the demands of commercial driving, the E-350 is also fitted with a Ford TorqShift 6-speed Transmission. What’s good about this? It’s specially tailored to high levels of torque and commercial tasks such as towing and hauling. Adaptive shift technology optimizes shift patterns to suit various driving scenarios. The Tow/Haul mode enhances performance and comfort by avoiding excessive shifting when carrying or pulling heavy loads.
- Driver Comfort, Safety, and Communications
Many features combine to offer driver comfort and safety as standard. Front air conditioning and high-back bucket seats are among them. You get driver and passenger airbags, height-adjustable safety belts, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). For comms and entertainment, you’ll find a fleet telematics modem, a dual USB port, and a Bluetooth radio. Tempting luxuries are available as extras, like captain’s chairs, a 6-way driver seat adjuster, and a 4-speaker audio upgrade.
- Customization Potential
There’s plenty you can do with the Ford E-350 to make it suitable for your intended use. For instance, an Upfitter Interface Module (UIM) can be installed into the instrument panel for the operation of external equipment like cranes. You can choose prep packages to ready the E-350 chassis for various builds, including ambulance, motorhome, school bus, and shuttle bus. There are auxiliary heater/AC packages, an insulation package, and a Driver Assist Technology package incorporating several advanced safety features.
